Welcome to the Summer Series. In this episode, we are exploring what it really means to have your own back, especially when life gets hard, when people misunderstand you or the self-doubt creeps in. This is about becoming the kind of woman that you can count on no matter what. So let's dive in.
Welcome to the School of Self-Image, where personal development meets style. Here's your hostess, master life coach, Tonya Leigh.
Hello. Hello, friends. Welcome back to the Summer Series where we are revisiting some of the episodes from the past. I told you all when I decided to do this series that I wasn't completely abandoning the podcast that I was going to really expand upon or talk about how these different episodes relate to my life now.
And someone reached out to me on Instagram last week and she was telling me, she was like, "I'm loving this series so much because you're diving even deeper." It feels like I'm just taking it to the next level. So I hope you all are enjoying revisiting some of these episodes. And today is a special one, and it's all about having your own back.
This is a concept that when I talk with members, they tell me has really changed the game for them. And I was thinking about what it means to me today to have my own back. And I didn't even go back and listen to the episode. I'm just talking from my experience today. I probably mentioned some of these things in the episode, so please listen to it. But I really drilled it down to 10 things that to me are traits of a woman who has her own back.
The first one is self-trust. Believing that you will do what you say you will do. When you learn to trust yourself, you trust your word, you trust your commitments. There is a confidence that comes from that. You know you're not going to let yourself down. You don't betray yourself. You trust and believe that your feelings and intuition are valid. There's something powerful about learning to trust yourself.
And the only way to build that is to begin keeping promises with yourself. And if you've been someone who's been breaking promises to yourself for a long time, as probably all of us have at some point in our lives, I always encourage people just to start small. Choose one little promise, one little commitment that you're going to keep to yourself. Not only will you create results from that, but the best part of that is the self-trust that you'll build with yourself.
The second trait of having your own back is self-compassion. Y'all, we are so hard on ourselves, we would never treat other people the way we treat ourselves. If you want to be a woman that has her own back, you have to start being compassionate with yourself. I always ask members like, "What would you say to your best friend right now? What would you say to
